The 2012/13 Premier League season promises to be an exciting one for many reasons. The newly crowned champions Manchester City, who pipped their local rivals Manchester United on a better goal difference to lift their first league title in 44 years, will
be looking to extend their domination in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and also in Europe.
On the other hand, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s unit will be desperate to wrestle their crown back and reclaim their status of being the powerhouse of Manchester.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and Tottenham Hotspur look to stake their own claims.
With the likes of Newcastle United and Liverpool also expected to mount a challenge for a Champions League berth, the race for a top-four finish is expected to more competitive than it has ever been.
However, there will be one team which will be looking to break the stronghold of the top flight teams this coming season, given their astounding form late on in the prevenient term and their proven potential of beating the best teams in the league on their
day. That one team will be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043.
After getting their 2011/12 campaign off to a shaky start, the men in blue launched a remarkable comeback in the season’s second half. During this period, they stunned the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park, and inflicted irreparable
damage on the then league leaders United at the Red Devils own arena, by holding them on to a 4-4 draw.
As a result of their impressive late charge, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in the final league standings, but narrowly missed out on a place in the Europa League.
Since the arrival of a handful of signings during the January transfer window, which included the Toffees hot shot striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darron-Gibson-c10368, Everton have become a team to beat. That they were one of the best defensive units
in the league was a fact already known to many. However, given that the January reinforcements have served to expunge their weaknesses upfront, it can be said with little doubt that the current top-four won’t fancy playing against the Merseyside team.
The boss at Goodison Park, who is yet to claim his first piece of silverware during his ten years in charge of the club, has made known time and again that his target has always remained of winning the league title. Despite getting lucrative offers from
bigger clubs in the past, the Scott has stuck with the Toffees, as he himself believes that his ten years of hard work is finally close to yielding results.
Everton have already beaten some of the best teams in the league during the preceding campaign. Given that the team is likely to be further strengthened by the inclusion of the summer signings, one can expect them to put up an even better show. City, United,
Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham might appear as the front runners at a first glance in the race for the top four.
Nonetheless, nothing can be said for sure in a competition as unpredictable as the Premier League, where surprises keep on pouring. Keeping in view their recent form and the current depth of their squad, Everton might be the surprise of the next season.
